Interstate StarRV, a service provider of RV F&I products backed by Interstate National Dealer Services and its umbrella company Interstate National Corp., announced it will offer warranty coverage to dealers for unsold RVs manufactured by Carriage Inc.

“The unfortunate closing of Carriage has left almost 1,000 RV units on dealers’ lots without manufacturer’s warranty coverage and would be sold ‘as is’ to the buyers,” Ricky Wolfe, Interstate National CMO said in a press release. “This is unacceptable, and Interstate StarRV wants to provide peace of mind for these dealers and agents as well as their customers by offering a premier warranty product when purchased.”

This is the third time StarRV has offered warranty coverage on RV units whose manufacturers have become a victim of the economic downfall. This coverage will consist of one-year structural and up to seven years of non-structural coverage to begin at the time of the sale.

Interstate StarRV will offer coverage that includes roof, floor, sidewalls and front/rear caps with no deductible on repairs, which can be made at any licensed repair facility in the U.S. and Canada. This is also a transferable warranty product.

“This is a unique product specifically geared towards Carriage products that begins at the time of sale, not after the manufacturer’s warranty ends,” said Kurt Harbeke, StarRV national sales manager. “Besides the exclusionary coverage offered, Carriage owners will enjoy 24/7 RV tech support and concierge service, travel expense, food spoilage, air transportation, pet benefits and many more benefits that hundreds of thousands of StarRV customers have enjoyed for over 35 years.”
